Highly Specific and Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Catalyzed Homology-Directed Repair in Drosophila

Genetics, 2014
We and others recently demonstrated that the readily programmable CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used to edit the Drosophila genome. However, most applications to date have relied on aberrant DNA repair to stochastically generate frameshifting indels and ...

Resolving Dye Embedment in MOF‐5: Multimodal Evidence for Perylene‐Based Guest Encapsulation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Unambiguous discrimination between surface‐adsorbed and pore‐incorporated photoactive dyes remains a key challenge in hybrid MOF systems. This study presents a comprehensive multi‐technique approach ‐ combining PXRD, IR spectroscopy, N2 physisorption, and time‐resolved photoluminescence ‐ complemented by DFTB3 molecular dynamics, to elucidate the ...

Biocatalytic Construction of a Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Magnetic Resonance Imaging Nucleoside Probe: Synthesis and Evaluation of 5‐Methyl‐5,6‐Dihydrothymidine

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
Al‐Hilfi et al. present a biocatalytic strategy for synthesizing 5‐methyl‐5,6‐dihydrothymidine (5‐MDHT), a sensitive MRI contrast agent. The study demonstrates that recombinant enzyme catalysis offers an efficient, sustainable, and eco‐friendly alternative to traditional chemical synthesis for producing clinically relevant imaging probes.

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.
